Welcome to Issue 150 of ELM. TOTALLY Independent & Rooted in East Leeds. “My mum’s an anarchist and she don’t know it, She hates politicians says their hypocrites, Their values are skewed and their narcissistic, They make mistakes and they never admit it.” Nervous Twitch with ‘My Mums an Anarchist’ from their album released late last year called ‘The Day Job Gets in the Way.’ We’ve an article on Nervous Twitch and a chance for you to win some goodies from their merchandise. If you’re prepared to travel a bit, the excellent Brit Fest has a fantastic line up this year and we will be featuring a different day each issue for the next few months. The Classical day is first and there’s a chance to win a couple of tickets. If that’s a bit far there’s a competition for the Gary Davies Grown Up Disco in Leeds. Lee Murtagh’s first boxing show of the year is on 28th February and if your child would like to learn how to play a musical instrument or perform onstage then maybe ‘Music Learning for Kids’ or ‘Showgroup LS14’ might be for you. Maybe Warren should have stayed at home at Christmas, he went all the way to Thailand and got himself bitten by an Asian Water Monitor. And finally, can we help Neil? An appeal to help community stalwart Neil Adair on page 26. Please help if you can. Peace & Love. All at East Leeds Magazine
